3. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father and Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qasaniy all from al-Qasim ibn Muhammad from Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Minqariy from Fudayl ibn ‘Iyad who has said the following: “I once asked abu ‘Abd Allah, about the greater al-Hajj because ibn ‘Abbas used to say, ‘It is the day of ‘Arafah.’ Abu ‘Abd Allah, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, said that ’Amir al-Mu’minin, ‘Alayhi al-Salam, has said, ‘The greater al-Hajj is the day of offering sacrifice and he proved it with the words of Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Glorious, “You can move in the land during four months.” (9:2 ) This is from the twentieth of the month of Dhu al-Hajj ah through the month of al-Muharram, the month of Safar, the month of Rabi‘ al-Awwal and ten days of the month of Rabi‘ al-Akhir. Were it (greater al-Hajj) to begin with the day of ‘Arafah, it became four months and one day.’”
IsnādAli ibn Ibrahim, de son père, et Ali ibn Muhammad al-Qasani, tous deux de al-Qasim ibn Muhammad, de Sulayman ibn Dawud al-Minqari, de Fudayl ibn Ayyad, a dit : J'ai interrogé Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) au sujet du Grand Pèlerinage. Ibn Abbas disait que le jour d'Arafat...
... Abu Abdullah (que la paix soit sur lui) a dit : "L'Imam des croyants (que la prière d'Allah et Ses bénédictions soient sur lui et sur sa famille) a dit : Le Grand Pèlerinage est le jour du Sacrifice, et il se justifie par Sa parole, Exalté soit-Il : 'Alors, circulez librement sur la terre pendant quatre mois...' qui sont les vingt jours de Dhu al-Hijjah, et Muharram, et Safar, et le premier mois de Rabi' al-Awwal, et dix jours de Rabi' al-Thani. Si le Grand Pèlerinage était le jour d'Arafat, il serait de quatre mois et un jour."
